HOWL-O-SCREAM GUESTS GET HANDS-ON WITH “ZOMBIE CONTAINMENT UNIT 15”

Busch Gardens® Tampa’s Howl-O-Scream® took interactive experiences to new levels with the introduction of The Experiment in 2013. This year, Howl-O-Scream 2014 puts guests even closer to the action with Zombie Containment Unit 15.

Three years after the undead invasion, there has been a containment failure in Zombie Containment Unit 15. Zombies have escaped in search of flesh, and Howl-O-Scream guests are the next target. Armed with only a Z.E.D. (Zombie Eradication Device), it’s up to them to hold off an undead mob in this interactive zombie laser-hunting experience.

Zombie Containment Unit 15 is included with Howl-O-Scream admission, and no reservations are required. Freaky Preview returns this year with Howl-O-Scream 2014’s opening weekend on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27. The event then runs Thursday through Saturday nights, Oct. 2-Nov. 1. Howl-O-Scream will also be open on Sunday, Oct. 19. Operating hours are 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. for all event nights.

Hundreds of undead creatures emerge from the shadows and lurk throughout Busch Gardens as paranormal terrors keep your pulse pounding with an all-new haunted house, roaming slash mobs and more. Even more excitement awaits you on some of Florida’s top thrill rides, including North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower, Falcon’s Fury™.
